    and Microsoft Media Services streams over TCP (MMST).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    By setting up a malicious server and enticing a user to use its
    streaming data, a remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code
    on the client computer with the permissions of the user running any
    multimedia frontend making use of the xine-lib library.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All xine-lib users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose media-libs/xine-lib</code>
